I very strongly disagree with trenching around any tent. This is causes a
significant amount of impact to the environment and does not follow the current
BSA LNT (Leave No Trace) guidelines.
It also does not follow the BSA Outdoor Code:
As an American, I
Will Do My Best to:
Be clean in my
outdoor manners.
Be careful
with fire.
Be considerate
in the outdoors.
Be
conservation-minded.
* The Outdoor Code
